Over the last 11 seasons, @ModernFam has transformed people’s perceptions of the LGBTQ community through the characters of Mitchell and Cam, showing Americans that queer people have the same hopes and ambitions in life as everyone else. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover pic.twitter.com/etk765uMla

We stood at the forefront of the fight for marriage equality both on and off screen, joining @HRC in advocating for the eventual #SCOTUS decision that established #LoveIsLove. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover @ModernFam https://t.co/qkyg3vsrnB pic.twitter.com/BJ6YL9BN6m

.@ModernFam also explored the trials and tribulations of LGBTQ couples hoping to create a family of their own. To this day, many same-sex couples still face discrimination when trying to have children. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover https://t.co/I0ik3S4KMo

While @ModernFam may be coming to an end, the fight of full equality is far from over. My husband (@JustinMikita) and I are more committed than ever to working with @HRC so that no one faces discrimination for who they are or whom they love. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover

I’ve had the pleasure of attending and speaking at multiple @HRC events across the country and am always thrilled to hear from so many LGBTQ leaders on the impactful work they're doing to make a difference in this world. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover https://t.co/NIaOo0rp3f

I’m also proud of my husband, @JustinMikita, for his involvement as a member of both the @HRC and HRC Foundation Board of Directors - whose leadership groups constantly work to ensure every LGBTQ person is fully protected under the law. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover

It’s more important than ever that we support organizations like @HRC as the Trump-Pence administration continues to attack the LGBTQ community. Our rights and our lives are at stake unless we take action. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover https://t.co/MWzzO8mihB

As we speak, the Supreme Court is deciding whether sexual orientation and gender identity are protected under the Civil Rights Act - a landmark decision that would help protect LGBTQ workers nationwide. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover https://t.co/gnEPom1kt5

It's also time that the Senate finally pass the #EqualityAct. This legislation would expand LGBTQ rights like never before, ensuring protections in housing, education, employment, credit and more. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover @JustinMikita pic.twitter.com/byxbymxsY1

The best part is you can take action today to make a difference tomorrow. Email your Senator with help from @HRC to let elected officials know that the time for passing the #EqualityAct is now. - @jessetyler #HRCTwitterTakeover https://t.co/Ou8yV1cDsu
